Venice is dying. The ongoing exodus of inhabitants is In stark contrast with the image that is shown to the rest of the world is akin to the cover of an advertising brochure,

During the past four years I have been exploring in depth Venice, my home city, and I took many unusual pictures of it. I have started up a street photography project called: The
Invisible City. Through my photographs, I strive to show the true essence and soul of Venice, unseen to those visiting it. Venice is a city that through the millennia brought
to us history and unparalleled architecture. Nevertheless, it is not a still-life exposition in a museum; it lives to a full extent through his environment and inhabitants
